The Talking Heads vibe of Strawberry Cough is kinda off putting but I still don't hate it...

Preview of the new album. Way more herky-jerky post punk than the art goth stuff from previous records and almost hooky? Didn't expect that.

Sadly/famously FM Steve's last session.

Man, I dig the shit out of that.

Does anyone know what snare was used on Still Life in Decay?

I can't speak to the studio session but that's right around the time he switched to a red Vistalite kit (including snare).

Dang! I wonder if it has to be red to sound like that.

Just got tix for the LA show. Stoked!

Saw them last night again in Minneapolis at 7th Street Entry. They were great. Bought a tee shirt and the two LPs I didn't already have. Brian and Jonathan were as nice and gracious as ever and Noah is one hell of a monster drummer. Holy shit.

Unstable Shapes and Upright Forms opened. Also very good.

Here's a very short clip -

Any Chicago folks in the know hear if Sub Pop is going to reissue the Facs stuff now that Trouble In Mind is done?
